My biggest plan is to try and scrape 7 students through the IB Diploma Design course so that one day they can design things as functional and phunky as this

Victor Assis says
I’ll graduate in January.
In Fabruary, I’m going to start my master’s course.
By March, I’m going to be finishing my PhD’s course.
In May, I’ll be CEO of the company.
In August, I’ll be elected president of the new nation of America (Union of south and north america).
By September, probably, I’ll receive my crown as king of the world.
In Nomvember, I’ll fake my death like Elvis and Jim Morrison, grow a beard and help the Red Cross for the rest of the year.
In December, though, in the last week, I’ll go camping with my all-new Eton Solarlink, a fishing rod and my beard.

2010 will be a year of both change and stability for me. After spending every 3 weeks of 2009 away from my family – I’m ready to have some stability back as we start a new life. Change – for the new adventures I’m sure we have in store for us here in our new home. A lot of that will include hiking/camping, so this would be amazing to have.
Thanks.
Albert Rozo says
In 2010, I plan on walking the 2178 mile long Appalachian Trail. I am researching ways to power an electronic device (iPhone) so that I can post photos and twits along the way. The Eton Solarlink may just be the solution I am looking for.
Osvaldo M. says
I plan to make up for all the time i wasted in University in horrible lectures and useless tutorials by finally working full time and freelancing on my spare hours. I can’t wait for that moment!.

In 2010 I’m going to continue not smoking, finish my history degree, keep fresh flowers in the house every day, ride my bike every day, help my girlfrind start her dog-walking venture, visit grandma four times at least, attend every union rally, anti-war march and climate and healthcare action I can, I’m going to quit my job and start teaching… Jeez. Y’know, it’s going to take a bit more than a nice radio, but I’m looking forward to it! Did I mention I’m in an extremely disaster-prone part of the world (San Francisco)?

2010: Learn to sew.
Ever read a manga or anime and say “that’s a really cool outfit they’ve got there,” but must reconcile yourself with the reality that it doesn’t exist? If I could sew, then I might get to change that reality.
Eric says
Saw this in a Brookstone catalog the other day, rather neat.
2010 is going to be a huge year for me. Finally moving out (financial difficulties have been holding me back) into a house of my own, getting one of my two degrees (double major), taking some extended trips (NYC, Belfast) that have been long overdue, and what else may pop up along the way. It will be a life-changing year.
Rob says
I just joined EWB (Engineers without borders) and 2010 could be a big year to volunteer oversees – the SOLARLINK would come in real handy in Rural Africa.
Eric says
In 2010 i plan to be successful in every way possible
Andrew says
in 2010 i plan to be even lazier.
Eric says
In 2010, I plan on spending a lot more time outdoors hiking and taking photographs.

I plan on graduating and once more trying my fate in the world of free enterprise. Also getting married. Yep, big year.
Doris.C says
Wow isn’t that nifty what a great idea!! Would solve some of my problems
heather n says
I plan on getting my financial life in order. 2009 was tough, 2010 will be better.
mif991 says
If and when the economy normalizes I will go freelancing.
Natali says
I usually spend New Years eve on my Grandpa’s farm. A farm with no electricity, they depend on solar panels and a few other options. We usually spend New Years eve outside looking at the stars and having a chat.
Do I even have to mention that I think my Grandpa has a slight obsession with flash lights? I buy him a new / different one every year! He will love this one.
As for 2010… I’ll be looking for another flash light for my Grandpa and I am planning to explore and not only find the career I’m meant to have, but also my “calling”.
Here’s to a bright 2010!
tudza says
I have a small radio flashlight that can charge a cell phone, but the email I got from the company explained that the solar cell part of the phone cannot charge anything but the internal battery.
I’ll read the fine print on this one. I expect it to be different since it is obviously a more upscale device than what I have.
Que B. says
I’m planning to take my photography biz a bit further by creating a logo and registering a domain for my website and portfolio. I’m also planning to do more work in my community with my volunteer society (Victoria Visionaries Volunteer Society) with a few new projects to help those in need in my area. I’m taking the lessons I learned in 2009 and applying them to my life in 2010.
Alfredo Salkeld says
Even MORE Yankdo Design reading.

A fantastic device! By the way, speaking of fantastic devices: whenever I see a phone nowadyas I just can’t resist a temptation to boast about the new wonderful gadget I bought from http://www.gsm-earpiece.com – a wireless earpiece to work with my mobile phone! I ahve already passed 5 exams with it!
Chris says
In 2010 I would like to ride as many roller coasters as is humanly and financially possible! Oh, and listen to my new eton radio!
CP says
I want to go for an entire year using just natural power (solar and hand crank) from the Eton radio to power my mobile phone. With the amount of time I spend on the thing it is going to be a real challenge! If you guys send me a radio I will even blog the whole year to let you know how I go!
Clement says
stop cigarettes, buy a dog a become a better designer
Vanessa says
Take on my second year of design school and rock my advanced classes! I want to be an incredible second year student.
Beer Matt says
Not going for the sympathy there but my plan for the coming year is to close my business of 9 years. The economy has put us in a bad spot and I have been fighting it for over a year now and it is time to give up the fight and plunge headlong into financial uncertainty and face a horrible job market. But with a full glass of beer in hand, a smile on my face and a hardy “Cheers!” to you all, I face the new year with optimism and just a little enthusiastic excitement.

I am going to spend next winter in Barbados selling hand painted t shirts on the beach. I have had this dream for over 30 years.
This winter, when the weight of the ice chunks fall from the branches outside my humble abode, and cause a blackout, I will work on the t shirts smugly uninterrupted with my solarlink!
